This is what Obama’s Energy secretary, Steven Chu, said in New Mexico this week as paraphrased by AP:
“Many states already require a certain percentage of a utility’s electricity to come from solar, wind and other renewable resources, but Chu said the nationalizing of those efforts could pay off with hundreds of millions of dollars more in investments by private companies.”
Nationalization? The very word gives me the creeps.
This appears to be more of that “economic fairness” Obama talked so much about in his State of the Union spiel. Can’t have some states getting cheap oil, gas and nuke power while others are saddled with costly wind and solar bills.
To Obama economic fairness is not about equal opportunities, but about equal outcomes. Competition is bad. Uniformity is good.
He’s already nationalized health care and working on education with his Race to the Top national standard demand, why not electricity?
It is so unfair to have unequal burdens to pay for Obama’s green fantasies, just nationalize the power grid and be done with it.
Freedom is on it’s knees AND Barack INSANE Obama wants to put it in the grave! What a guy!
Force all states to follow California? Nasty trampling of the Constitution just by making a statement like that.
I sometimes wonder if they were watching when the USSR fell, remember all the guns the people had? You know, guns the Soviets outlawed along with Levi’s?
In this country guns are legal and some would say required by the Constitution for all citizens to have and be ready to defend the Republic if need be.
If it ever gets to that point, it will be ugly.
